How should I clean the shelter?

Troubleshooting
Shelter is unstable in wind
Ensure all frame poles are fully inserted and locked. Use all available guy lines and stakes, burying them deep in the sand or securing them to heavy objects if necessary. Consider the shelter's orientation relative to the wind to minimize exposure.
Water seeping through seams
Check for any damage to the seams. For minor issues, a seam sealer (available at outdoor gear stores) can be applied. Ensure the fabric is taut, as sagging can encourage water pooling.
Difficult to pack away
Ensure the shelter is completely dry before packing. Fold it neatly and systematically, following the reverse of the setup process. If it feels too bulky, ensure all air is pushed out from the fabric.
